On both the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia 2.2, the engine oil light "low pressure" may illuminate, but it is often not a problem with the pressure or the oil pump itself. The culprit is usually the oil pump gasket.

This rubber gasket wears out over time, hardens, and shrinks, losing its perfect seal; this creates a micro passage that allows oil pressure to escape from the system. As a result, the control unit detects low pressure and turns on the light to alert the driver.

Therefore, when this light comes on, first check this gasket before replacing more expensive components. This issue is not an immediate emergency, but it should not be delayed too long, as a broken gasket would lead to total pressure loss, causing severe engine damage.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
